Leo cherished his children and grandchildren, Blake, Maya, and Brooke. They brought an extra sparkle to his eye and warmth to his heart. He was proud of their achievements, treasured their laughter, and created beautiful memories that will be cherished by them forever. Leo also found comfort in spending time with his loyal dog Watson.
Leo was an avid sports fan. His greatest passion in life was hockey. From the time he laced up his first pair of skates on the outdoor rink in East point, Catalina, to the Cabot Stadium in Bonavista, onward to the ponds in Burin and finally to the Marystown arena where he played and volunteered his time to the Senior, Recreational and Minor Hockey Leagues. Whether he was cheering for his favorite team or lacing up his own skates, hockey brought him immense joy.
We would like to acknowledge and recognize the incredible staff at BPHCC for your unwavering commitment, tireless dedication, and compassionate care.
